Only Occasionally One of Sufficient Dl-
mentions Survives Passage
Through Air to Earth.
Meteors, or shooting stars, as they
•re more generally called, have from
the beginning of things been bombard-
ing the world at a rate estimated by
the highest authority at many thou-
sands an hour, of which, however, an
average of only five or six are visible
to the naked eye during the same
period of time. Fortunately, owing to
our protecting envelope of air, very
few of these missiles reach us. In size,
meteors vary from a few ounces to
many pounds in weight, and it is only
I cccnkio nr Tin- Tf. f i eery occasionally that one Is of suffi-
LESSONS OF THE TELEPHONE |c‘«»t dimensions to survive the pass-
- - ige of eighty to one hundred miles
through an atmosphere increasing in
iensity as the earth is approached.
The speed at which they enter the at-
mosphere, calculated at not less than
35 miles a second, generates such in-
tense heat by friction that the iron of
which the meteor principally consists
s immediately reduced to an Incandes-
cent vapor, which is the luminous train
io frequently seen in the heavens on a
clear night. The vapor rapidly cools,
&nd condenses In form of these minute
particles, which assume the spherical
form as does shot during its fall from
the top of the tower. Finally, the little
ipheres are scattered by the winds and
currents In the upper regions,
gradually descend in their millions as
»n invisible but never-ending shower.

As Taught to an Apartment House
Hallboy and to a Quick-Tem-
pered Man.
One thing the telephone has taught
me, said a quick-tempered man, “is
patience and I think I may say cour-
tesj, and I don’t doubt that in that
way, quite apart from its actual use-
fulness, the telephone has been a
world-wide benefaction. I used to
fume and storm when using it. but
nov. i Keep calm. I’ve been fairly
v\orn down or rather ironed smooth
by the exchange operator’s cool, in-
istent tranquillity. In the face of
hat Im ashamed to rage and I don’t
ny more at the telephone, but the
pa.iy great tiling about this is the
influence it has exerted upon me in
her directions. Compelled to be
a...i at the telephone, I find myself
•ia.re and more inclined to keep cool
away from it. less inclined to fly off
the handle, more likely in ail situa-
tions to keep my head on and to be
patient and courteous."
I suppose," said an apartment
house hall bey who had been chided
for h:s slowness in answering the tele-
phone. I suppose I must have got in
v-rons; I’ll tell you about the first
eali I ever answered when I got my
liiat job. I was coming down from the
top Poor with the elevator when I
hear ! the telephone bell on the ground
floor begin to ring; and it kept on
ringing and ringing until I thought the
house must be afire or that the baby ““
had fallen out of the window. When i It. is t0 be regretted that
the elevator hit the ground floor I
Jung back the door, jumped for the
swi’ebboard and slammed in the plug
on the ringing number and put the re- |
eeiver lo my ear. and what do you
suppose I got?
"illiam,- came down in a slow
and easy drawl, -what time is it?*
' i nat. you know, coming so at the
start, didn’t give me a very lofty idea
:f telephone calls’ importance, and I'm
afraid I ve been a little slow in an-
swering ever since.”
Hobnobbing With Royalty.
While lying off Piraeus, in my sailor
da>s. I was doing guard duty on deck
in the first watch. Toward’the close
of the watch I was joined on my beat
by a man in plain clothes, who, with a
ugkted cigar in his mouth, marched
f" re and aft the starboard side of the
ship with me. In anticipation of en-
t rmg Greek waters, I had read for
months, and this stranger was aston-
ished to find a common soldier so well
fn formed on the history of Greece. I

of the reception the good-natured rep-

ruins of his home.
“Gardens were trampled flat, co i
servatories fairly ruined, costly linen
stained, lace curtains torn, cut gla.
broken. The orchestra, the five-course
luncheon, the small army of extra
servants employed—all this expense,
together with the resultant wreckag ,

representatives to give such enter-
tainments.
